Heinz seemed to remember something when he saw Grace's face getting paler.
He asked tentatively, "You were not lying in bed just now. Did you go upstairs to chat with Celeste?"
"Why? Can't I talk to Celeste?" Grace retorted defensively.
"Of course you can." Heinz immediately shook his head and said with a smile, "Did Celeste say something? It seems you're very angry with Gary."
Grace did not reply to that as she looked at Heinz. "Are you asking if Celeste has been complaining about Gary to me?"
Heinz tensed as Grace sounded like she was about to start an argument. He became a little worried.
Heinz hurriedly explained, "You're suddenly so angry, so that did cross my mind."
"Celeste will never complain about Gary. We women are like you men, such complainers." Grace gave Heinz a disdainful look. "She always compliments Gary, and she won't tell me if she's
been hurt.
I can see that Celeste is worried about my pregnancy, and she doesn't want to upset me.
Yet, you think that Celeste is backstabbing Gary? How narrow-minded of you to think so, Heinz."
Heinz shut up right away.
Alright.
It was all his fault.
Heinz gave a wry smile. "Honey, it's all my fault. But I'm worried about you. You can't be mad when you're pregnant."
"What's there to worry about?" Grace rolled her eyes at him.
Heinz replied, "But you're so pale..."
"I'm fine. I just realized that there's something up with Gary and Celeste."
Heinz was stunned. Lowell's words and Lester's questions flashed through his mind.
It seemed that what Gary did had affected his relationship with Celeste.
If that was the case, things were going to be rather complicated.
However, Heinz remained impassive in front of his wife.
He smiled and said, "They say pregnant women love to overthink, and you're a classic example of that. Since Celeste wasn't complaining, why do you suspect Gary of doing something wrong? Aren't you looking for trouble that isn't there?"
Grace frowned, and she replied firmly, "I'm not. You don't know anything about what's happening."
"You sound like you know what's going on." Heinz looked at his wife and noticed that something was off.
"Forget it, I'm going to bed." Grace had no intentions of telling Heinz anything.
First of all, she didn't know how to talk about it. But above all else, she wanted to observe the situation more closely.
Heinz wanted to speak, but he stopped himself in the end.
Grace had already closed her eyes.
Grace was a little tired, and she seemed to be in a bad mood. Hence, he decided not to say anything else.
After all, she was with child.
Her health also affected the babies in her belly.
Heinz was silent for a moment before he said, "Okay, rest well. You can tell me about it whenever you like, and I will take care of whatever problems you might have. I'll do whatever you tell me to."
Grace suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Heinz again. "I have a feeling that something bad will happen."
